GREAT FALLS. September Especial
correspondence of the Montana Lire Stock
JoufAulI-I am an enthusiast on the sub
ject al Great Falls, and cannot refrain at
this time from giving you a brief history
of this remarkable town, which has grown
from nothing and with nothing apparently
in sight to warrant the building of ii town
except the beautiful location, which is not
surpassed in the country.
1t is hardly four years ago when first |
visited Great Falls: only two log buildings
were ON the ground now occupied by the
nucleus of a large city. At the time the
survey was tssing m.ie. and there y as no
excitement created: III fact rat- wis pee.

1t was not until all OF the arrangements

known that a town was actually to be
built. Mr.. Gibson (who by the way is one

This growth. which is phenomenal, is a

railroad, and in fact nothing such as usu-
ally creates i town in a short time.
What are its resources and what is to
build it up is a question frequently asked?:
[ would say the -es are numerous.
L has extensive coal mines at Sand Coulee,
nine miles away. and the rich silver
district of Neihart is only ~thirty-tive miles.
From what [ can learn it is the intention
to connect these points by railway in the
near future; reduction works will be erect
ed at the Falls, and other manufacturing
enterprises will he started. 1t is said that
as Great Falls is the center of a great
wool growing district, at no distant day a
wool securing establishment will be erect
ed, and the wool shipped to the eastern
markets and sold upon its merits as Mon
tana secured wool. =.

there will be given to the public the
secret, according to Prof. Henry Goule-
hind, of the Fisheries troubles, and the
true basis of the award of S., $50, 900,
against the United States. Soon after
the award was made the Professor, who
was employed by the Commission as
compiler, announced the discovery of
crooked statistics. Some noise was
made in Congress and the Canadian Par.
lament about this discovery, but inquiry
into the matter, he alleges, was smoth-
cred. The secret is in book form and
is addressed to Secretary Bayard and
the Governor General. In this book he
claims to prove by an arithmetical pro-
cess, fortified by mathematical formula
that the major part of the Cana.
dian annual official trade tables
with respect to trade with the
United States and Great Britain have
been fabricated from 1867 up to 1885.
He further presents a statement that all
of the Canadian figures are interchange
able with the fish trade figures in the
United States commerce and navigation
tables for 1873 4 and some other years.
The Professor submits mathemat.ca cal
proof that all OF the figures he intro.
duces from the United States official
tables for the years of 1884, together
with all the figures he advances from the
Canadian official tables from 1867 to
1873, are rot only interchangeable, but
are all equivalents of figures in the table
first published by the celebrated con-
temporary to Newton, Bornerellia, of
Balein, in l7l3.

THE GABLE CAR OUTRAGE.
The strikers Had Nothing to Do
with It

SAN Francisco, January Al. c.
Wynegar, one of the leaders OF the
striking carmen, was interviewed this
morning regarding last nights explo-
sions, and said: s'The carmen had
nothing to do with the affair and could
prove it. 1t is being done by men who
sympathize with us, and they think they
are doing us a favor. but they are
doing us great injury. Ii we knew
who they were we would be too glad to
give them up. 1t is a cowardly busi-
ness and has to be stopped" 1t is said
the police have very strong evidence
against four men who have been arrest
ed on suspicion of being concerned in
the outrages. Mrs. Hildebradt, who
was injured by the Post street explosion,
is in precarious condition. Her lower
extremities have been paralyzed, and 1t
is feared that the injuries sustained may
terminate fatally. Mr.. Hildebrandt,
her brother.in-law, is also confined to
his bed. Several complaints have been
preferred against the men arrested, each
being charged with three offenses. viz,
Placing distractions on the railroad
track, assault to commit murder and
using chemicals.
The Sutter. street Railroad Company
has offered one thousand dollars reward
for any information that will lead to

his circumstances are as follows:
During the last days of the trial Miss
Van Zandt became a regular visitor in

her fine form and considerable beauty

fashionably dressed. After the conclu.
sion of the trial she visited the Jail and
was introduced to Spies. They became
interested in each othsr and decided to

nature, could be firm upon occasion.

INDIANAPOLIS, January l4.-The only
item of interest in the Legislature to-day
was developed in the House, where two
reports in the Meagher contested elec-
ton case were presented. 1t was deter
mined to devote three hours to debate,
the time to be equally divided between
the parties, and that the vote should be
taken not later than o'clock.
In the injunction procee lings of Smith
against Robertson, owes the Lieutenant.

tions were made, Attorney. General
Michener appeared for Robertson and
occupied the forenoon in an argument,
and the attorneys for Smith will, it is
expected, answer this afternoon. A de-
cision tonight is possible but not at all
probable.
Attorneys for Smith consumed the af
ternoon in their argument and had not
concluded when the court adjourned.
The decision is expected tomorrow.
In the House at the conclusion of the
debate on the Meagher cases vote was
taken aud the seat awarded to Dickerson
(Republican) by strict party vote.
Meagher's seat was vacated on the
ground that he held the office of justice
of the peace and was ineligible under
the constitution. This action gives each
party IS votes on joint ballot.

to be pursued in view of the unseating
of Meagher by the Republican House.
1t was decided to ignore the action of

to unseat some Senate Republicans but
no action looking to this end was taken.

Why Churchill Resigned.

LONDON. January IA. - Lord Ran.
dolph Churchill in letter explaining
his resignation from the Cabinet says his
object was to secure economy, combined
with efficiency. He will gladly cooper
ate with any one in the endeavor to in
duce or compel the House of Commons
to revert to the better financial princi-
Piles which prevailed before 1874. He
continues: eff economy is unpopular in
Downing street we mus: make it popu.
lar. Calamities incalculable will result
if the present system of lavish, uncon.
trolled expenditure be allowed to con-
tinue." Gladstone thinks this letter
does honor to Churchill and offers The
latter chances to again raise the flag OF
economy.
